Animated Famous Firsts: From Doodles to Domination!

Before they had hit shows, awards, and studio budgets… they had student films, weird ideas, and probably a lot of all-nighters!

Join ASIFA Colorado for Animated Famous Firsts, a special screening celebrating the early work of some of animation’s most beloved creators—from scrappy student films to the pilot episodes that launched iconic series. It’s a rare chance to see where it all began (and realize even the pros started a little rough around the edges).

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is encouraged as space is limited. First come, first seated. Come get inspired, laugh a little, and maybe feel better about that unfinished project on your hard drive.
